Lesson Title
Grade Level 5 Concepts(s)
Targeted
Performance Expectation
1. Construct working streetlights in front of the town
5. Measure the height of each of the buildings using two types of standard measurement. For example
convert if a building measures 5 cm it also measures 0.05 m.
Constraints:
Provide an individual brainstorming opportunity for students to determine how to use their new knowledge of
how to create a circuit to design a way to make the streetlights.

Safety Considerations - Important: include safety rules general, but also specific rules to
activities completed during the unit.
The Learning Plan: <Briefly describe the sequence of activities for the lesson.> In the course of
the planning identify at least 1 of the 5 Es. Outline the specific Es below:
ENGAGE: Students will build a working model of streetlights to present to a City
Council.
EXPLORE: Provide each group of students with materials to make a simple circuit; one
battery, one light bulb and one wire. Allow students to explore ways to make the bulb
light up. Create a large T-Chart on the board labeled Didnt Work and Worked. Have
students draw ideas that didnt work then after groups get the light bulb to light have
a teach draw and share how they got it to work. Discuss with the students how to
make a simple circuit; need a circular path and metal touching metal. Provide
students with more materials and allow students them to see what happens to the
bulb when more electrical energy is added to the circuit. How can you get two light
bulbs to light? After students have had sufficient time to explore, meet as a whole
class to discuss findings.
EVALUATE: Students evaluate their design for success. Did it meet the established
criteria? Did their final design match their planned design? How would students
improve their design?
Opening/Hook/Initial Focus: <How will you ENGAGE students? How will you connect to prior
knowledge and previous lessons/content?>
